Back-to-School Celebrity Style Inspiration

Get outfit ideas for your own fall looks by checking out how your favorite celebs are wearing this year’s biggest trends!

Boho Scarf

This is the perfect look to attract a hottie — and Blake should know — she’s snagged everyone from Penn to Leo! An oversized scarf in a paisley or tribal print stands out and looks trendy, without trying too hard. Pair it with a menswear inspired fedora, patterned tights, and a flirty skirt. Then, wait for the guys to flock…

A Cool Cape

Lea Michelle looks cozy (and slightly incognito!) in her fashion-forward cape. The jacket with slits for sleeves looks chic paired with jeans and flats, but it’s also really useful when you’re running late in the morning and can’t figure out a cute outfit to wear under it! Just make sure the bottom half of your ensemble is fitted like this Gleek’s — you don’t want to look too boxy!

Lace Top

Selena’s shirt top is pretty and versatile! Pair it with tailored shorts and cutout heels like the Biebs’ main squeeze did here, or throw in on over a burnout tank and faded skinny jeans for a more relaxed vibe.

Studded Shoe

Move over ballet flats and loafers — there’s a new trendy shoe in town! Studded oxfords are the ultimate in rockstar footwear (well, studded boots might trump those) and they’re an instant accessory that doesn’t take time to put on. If edgy is the vibe you’re going for, steal Alexa Chung’s black skinny pants and a bomber jacket combo. Leave it to those supermodels to always look stylish and effortless!

Sweater Dress

You know what makes Katy feel like a Teenage Dream? Rocking something comfortable on her day off! All those tight, tiny dresses have got to get a little tiresome, right? A long sweatshirt worn over tights or leggings is just right for class, and then maybe a date later. After all, if you’re looking for Firework to happen between you and your guy, you are not going to want to be uncomfortable!

Lightweight Cardi

Even Pretty Little Liars know layers are key when it comes to the fall — one minute it’s warm and the next it’s chilly! Ashley Benson rocks her black cardi over leather leggings and a silky white top, but it’s a good idea to stash a few of these in your locker or bag, to have just in case the weather changes last minute.

Cropped Jean Jacket

Emma Roberts proves you can totally mix denim trends by sporting a light jean jacket, dark skinnies, and neutral belt and shoes! This look can take you from class, to lunch, to meetings in style!

Tap Shorts

Seventeen cover girl, Emma Watson, is perfectly preppy in ivory lace tap shorts, a blush blazer and black skinny tie! Who says only boys can rock this neck accessory? Take a fashion cue from Harry Potter’s heroine and have fun with your 1st day look!

Pleated Skirt

There’s nothing Gritty about this outfit! Hailee’s pleated skirt and short navy jacket look is girly-meets-grownup glamour at its best!

Floral Dress

Jessica Lowndes’ outfit is the perfect thing to wear when seasons are changing. Her floral dress still embraces summer fun, but the navy booties give this look an edge and hint towards fall. Style your hair in half up, half down, loose waves and you’re ready to take on school!

Harem Pants

This might seem like one of those trends that’s hard to wear, but it’s actually not! As long as your pants are more tailored towards the ankle, you won’t end up looking like you’re rocking PJ’s — we promise. Try the look with pumps to make it more dressy, like Jessica Stroup did here, and fabrics with a little sheen to them look more luxe.

Feather Accessories

Feather earrings, hair extensions, shirt strings — wherever you look, there’s a celeb showing off this indie-inspired flair! If you don’t want to be tamed like Miley, get involved with feathers! Hers look so cute hanging from a sheer linen shirt.

Boyfriend Blazer

Knit beanie? Check. Vintage looking oxfords? Check. Boyfriend? Ummm, her next song will probably spill all, but boyfriend blazer? Check! Taylor hits all the fashion high notes with this casual, yet, sophisticated number.
